Question

Steve is planning to bake 3 loaves of bread. Each loaf calls for 21/4 cups of flour. He knows he has 20 cups on hand. Will he have enough flour Left for a cake recipe that requires 3/4 cups.

Answer 1

Answer:

Yes he have enough flour.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Steve is planning to bake 3 loaves of bread. Each loaf calls for 21/4 cups of flour. He knows he has 20 cups on hand.

To find : Will he have enough flour Left for a cake recipe that requires 3/4 cups.

The amount of flour required to make a loaf of bread is $\frac{21}{4}$  

Therefore, to make 3 loaves of bread, one will require:

$\frac{21}{4}\times3=\frac{63}{4}$

Steve has 20 cups,so what is left is:

$20-\frac{63}{4}=\frac{17}{4}$

What is left is $\frac{17}{4}$ cups of flour.

$\frac{17}{4}>\frac{3}{4}$

This is enough to make the cake that requires $\frac{3}{4}$  cups.

Answer 2

"Yes, he will have enough flour left for a cake recipe that requires$\frac{3}{4} cups.$

Given:

Steve is planning to bake 3 loaves of bread

The amount of flour required to make a loaf of bread$=\frac{21}{4}$

To make 3 loaves of bread we require $=3 \times\left(\frac{21}{4}\right)=\frac{63}{4}$

Since, Steve has 20 cups.

Therefore, amount of flour he is left with $=20-\frac{63}{4}=\frac{17}{4}=4 \frac{1}{4}$

Steve left with the $4 \frac{1}{4} flour$

$4 \frac{1}{4}$ amount of flour is enough to make cake which requires $\frac{3}{4}$cups of flour."
